It appears to start off great with a leadoff home run to Dexter Fowler. But just as quickly as the inning is over, like Tyler Anderson, Kyle Hendricks gives up a leadoff home run in the bottom half of the first to David Dahl. In the top of the third, Kyle grabs a one out single and with two outs, Kris Bryant also singles. Anthony Rizzo also singles to score Kyle to put the Cubs up by one. The Cubs score again in the fifth as Bryant singles in Baez who walked, advanced on a sac bunt and stole third. Addison Russell drives Rizzo on his 15th home run of the year. Cubs are now up 5-1.
Travis Wood joins the Cubs in the seventh, he gives up a two out double to Daniel Descalo who scores on a fielding error by Bryant on Nick Hundley’s ground ball. In the eighth, after giving up a walk and a single, wood is out and Carl Edwards, Jr enters the game and gives up a ground ball to DJ LeMahieu that goes down the line that is ruled as a ground rule double due to fan interference. Carlos Gonzalez ground out but another run scores. Nolan Arenado flys out to left and DJ would attempt to score but is gunned down by Matt Szczur. The Rockies challenge and it’s overturned for a tie game.
We go to 11 innings and Aroldis Chapman enters the game getting the first out. He then gives up a single to Nick Hundley who ends the game scoring on Ryan Raburn’s walk off double. Not a great start for this trip out west but it’s only one game.
Go Cubs Go!
